Join Josh Mesout, CIO of Civo, in this workshop where we simplify AI and ML, focusing on deploying large language models (LLMs) using open-source tools. Learn how to leverage Civo infrastructure, understand the benefits of open-source models, and gain practical insights into setting up your own AI deployment. Ideal for software engineers and tech enthusiasts looking to reduce reliance on ChatGPT and take control of their machine learning models.

Pixie is an open source observability tool for Kubernetes applications. Pixie automatically collects telemetry data, including full-body requests, resource and network metrics, application profiles, and more. Using Pixie, developers can view the high-level state of their cluster (service maps, cluster resources, application traffic) and also drill down into more detailed views (pod state, flame graphs) without having to modify or redeploy their code.

In this video, Ryan Clements from Byte Bot shares his experience integrating Storybook and Next.js. Discover the lessons he learned about automation, documentation, and open-source community engagement. Whether you're a developer or interested in software engineering, this talk offers valuable insights.

Utilizing the true potential of data streaming is key to business success. In this Data (R)evolution episode, we're joined by Josep Prat and Filip Yonov to dive into the transformative features of Apache Kafka and its evolving role in data architecture. They discuss the critical importance of collaboration and feedback in enhancing Kafka's capabilities, the future of "lake house" technology, exciting updates from the Open Source Program Office (OSPO), and the importance of Kafka's readiness to support evolving data formats—making it a backbone for modern data ecosystems.

Adopting cloud technology to gain velocity and agility in the marketplace allows companies to focus on what matters most. However, this transition isn't without its risks. In this episode of Data (R)evolution, hosts Janki Patel Westenberg and Francesco Tisiot are joined by Dave Li, former Senior Software Engineer at Helthjem, and Oded Valin, Co-Founder & CEO at EverSQL, to discuss the application of AI in database management, the importance of expertise in cloud adoption, and the need for streamlined tools in an increasingly data-driven world.

To the unfamiliar, building with open source tools may seem like the kind of chaos that leads to Boaty McBoatface-like decisions. Andrew Lamb, staff engineer at InfluxData and PMC for the Apache DataFusion project, provides insight from a developer and a PMC perspective about what it's like to build with, and manage a major open source project. InfluxData recently rebuilt its core database using Apache projects: Flight, DataFusion, Arrow, and Parquet, dubbed the FDAP stack.

Using open source projects from the Apache foundation to build low-level database software drives innovation. Andrew Lamb, Staff Engineer at InfluxData and PMC for the Apache DataFusion project, discusses the components of the FDAP stack - Flight, Arrow, DataFusion, and Parquet, explaining how building with these tools helps companies focus on innovation instead of spending dev cycles reinventing the wheel.
